Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« We have self-funded development of Private Dick to date, assembling a team of artists, actors and composers, building out the demo, and preparing the Early Access launch. It's taken us over a year to get to this point - and we're super proud of what we've managed to create.

We've already delivered a unique, sexy and highly polished experienced. With Early Access, we can push the envelope out even further and build a bigger, better game.

Early Access enables is to continue to fund the game to its completion. A healthy campaign will enable the development team to spend more time on the game, as well as funding more art, music and voiceovers.

We are also excited to bring players into the experience early, to build a relationship with the community and listen to fan feedback as we fill out the story and expand the characters. Early access gives us a unique opportunity to listen to our fans and pivot the game to deliver the best possible experience, focusing on the features, characters and story lines that our players want. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The initial Early Access build represents just the beginning of the story.

The plot of Private Dick has been fully planned out: we know exactly where the story is going, and when and where the major beats will land (subject to player feedback, or course!). We also have ambitious plans for side content which goes beyond the main story.

Over the next year, we'll be expanding the game by adding these new stories (or Cases), along with a diverse host of new characters. All fully voiced.

As the game develops, we'll also be introducing a whole alternate reality through the social media interface. This virtual world will reflect events that occur in the main game, as well as giving extra insight into the characters and world of Private Dick. There will even be subplots which unfold entirely in social media - all served up with unique and beautiful hand-drawn art. »

We'll also be paying attention to and interacting with the Steam community discussion forums, as well as communities on Twitter and Reddit. A Discord server is a likely addition as the community grows. »
